Bio
Rudolf Samohejl is visual artist based in Brussels and Prague. He classifies his works as "sculptural situations." As opposed to installations, his works are moreso experiences than presentations, drawing their strength from an active audience and oftentimes incorporating audience interaction. He is concerned with the present and future, particularly dealing with issues of technology, urbanism, and mass consumption.
